7 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 5600 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE STEP 3: CHECKING OUT YOUR SCANNER The Visioneer OneTouch 5600 scanner software comes with special software, called the OneTouch software, that allows you to use your scanner. The OneTouch software adds the scanner icon to the Windows taskbar (at the bottom right corner of the computer screen). If the scanner is properly connected, the scanner icon looks like the one in this figure. Scanner Icon If the icon has a red X through it, the scanner is not properly connected. See the next section, If the Scanner Is Not Properly Connected, for the steps to fix the problem. To check the status of the scanner: 1. Place the mouse pointer on the scanner icon in the Windows taskbar. 2. Right-click the icon. The shortcut menu appears.

STEP 3: CHECKING OUT YOUR SCANNER 8 3. Choose About from the shortcut menu. A dialog box confirms that the scanner is properly connected. 4. Click OK to close the dialog box. That s it. Your scanner is ready to scan. See Scanning: Three Ways on page 10. Note: The scanning lamp under the scanner s glass needs to warm up before you can scan. A status message lets you know when the lamp is ready. The lamp then remains ready so you don t have to wait for it to warm up each time you want to scan. To conserve electricity and prolong the life of the scanner, you can set the length of time for the lamp to remain lit before powering down. See Setting Preferences on page 23. IF THE SCANNER IS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED If the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar has a red X through it, the scanner is not properly connected. Check for one of these possible problems: Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely.

9 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 5600 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE Is the scanner s power light on? Turn on the scanner s power. If the light still doesn t come on, plug the power adapter into another electrical outlet. Is the scanner s locking tab in the locked position? Slide the locking tab to the unlocked position. If you tried to scan with the scanner locked, you must restart your computer after unlocking the scanner. Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you didn t restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software files. Try restarting your computer. Please see the Readme file in the PaperPort directory on your computer s hard drive. The Readme file contains additional information that may help you diagnose problems connecting the scanner. To connect the scanner: 1. After checking for all the above problems, right-click the scanner icon with the red X over it. The shortcut menu appears. 2. Choose Connect from the shortcut menu. The software finds the scanner and makes the connection. The scanner icon will no longer have a red X through it, and you re ready to begin scanning.

SCANNING: THREE WAYS 10 If you try all the troubleshooting procedures described above and in the Readme file, and the scanner icon still has a red X through it, you may have a malfunctioning scanner. Please see the technical support card that you received with your scanner for technical assistance telephone numbers. Also visit our web site at www.visioneer.com for additional technical information. SCANNING: THREE WAYS You can scan items by pressing a OneTouch button, by clicking a button on the screen, or from the PaperPort software (or other Twain software). Scan with the scanner buttons. Press a button on the scanner s front panel. See Scanning by Pressing the OneTouch Buttons on page 11 Scan from the screen Click the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar. A panel representing the scanner buttons appears. Click a button on the panel on the screen. See Scanning from the Button Panel on the Screen on page 12 for details.

11 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 5600 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE Scan from the PaperPort software (or other Twain software) To scan from the PaperPort software, start the software, and then click the Twain icon on the PaperPort Command Bar. You can also scan from other Twain software. See Scanning from the PaperPort Software on page 26 for details. SCANNING BY PRESSING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS Pressing a scanner button scans the item, and then sends the image either to the printer, or to a software application on your computer. To scan by pressing a button on the scanner: Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, and press one of the scanner buttons. The scanner starts scanning the item. A message just above the Windows taskbar shows the status of the scanning. When scanning is complete, the status message also shows the destination application. In the sample below, the scanned image appears on the PaperPort Desktop.

SCANNING FROM THE BUTTON PANEL ON THE SCREEN 12 During scanning, the scan progress window shows a small copy of the image, as illustrated by this example: When the scan is complete, the scanned image appears in the destination software. SCANNING FROM THE BUTTON PANEL ON THE SCREEN Scanning from the button panel on the screen is just like pressing a scanner button, except you click the button on the screen. The scanner scans the item, and then sends the image either to the printer, or to a software application on your computer. This method of scanning is especially helpful if the scanner is not located close to your computer. To scan from the screen: 1. Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, and click the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar. The scanner button panel appears on the screen.

13 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 5600 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE 2. Click the button you want to use to scan. The scanner starts scanning the item; the messages about the scanning appear above the Windows taskbar; the progress window shows the image as it is scanned. When the scan is complete, the scanned image appears in the destination application. The icons on the buttons indicate the destination application for the scanned image. For example, in the illustration above, the icon on the email button is for the email application, MS Outlook. When you click the email button, the item is scanned, and then MS Outlook opens. In this case, the scanned image automatically becomes an attachment to send with an email message. A question mark icon on a button means your computer does not have an application that corresponds to that button s functions. For example, if your computer does not have an email application, the Email button will have a question mark icon on it. LEARNING ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS The OneTouch buttons are preconfigured to scan items at various settings, and then send the scanned image to a preselected software application called the destination application. You can change the settings for each button. See About the Configuration Dialog Box on page 14.

LEARNING ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 14 The following table lists the scanner s preconfigured settings: Button Email Copy/Print Scan Preconfigured Settings Scans the item as a color photo and attaches it to a new email message in your email application Prints the scanned item in black and white on your printer/copier at the printer/copier s default resolution Scans the item as an 8.5" x 11" color page and displays it in PaperPort Note: If a button is not preconfigured, the Configuration dialog box appears when you press that button so you can configure it manually. For example, if your computer does not have email software installed, the Email button cannot be preconfigured. ABOUT THE CONFIGURATION DIALOG BOX The Configuration dialog box shows the current settings for each scanner button. The tabs across the top of the dialog box correspond to the buttons. Clicking a tab shows the current settings for the corresponding button on the scanner. For example, the following figure shows the current settings for the Scan button because the Scan tab is selected. The Scan button is set up to scan the item with the configuration named Special Scan for Dark Print, and then after the scanning is finished, to open PaperPort to display the scanned image.

For example, the following figure shows a configuration named Special Scan for Dark Print (which you would have created earlier). 3. Click the Edit button. The dialog box appears for adjusting the scanning settings of the selected configuration.

21 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 5600 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE 4. Adjust the scan settings that you want. Mode Select Black/White to scan in black and white. For example, letters and memos are usually scanned in black and white. Select Grayscale to scan items such as documents containing drawings or black and white photographs. The scanning produces an image in varying shades of gray. Select Color to scan color photographs and other color items. Resolution Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is 600 dpi; the minimum is 50 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images. Brightness and Contrast Drag the sliders to the right or left to adjust the brightness and contrast of the scanned image. The Contrast setting does not apply to the Black/White mode. 5. Click the Page Settings tab to adjust the scan page settings. Page Size Choose a page size from the drop-down list. The outlines on the picture represent the various page sizes. Clicking one of those outlines also selects it as the page size for the scan. If

LEARNING ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 22 you select the Custom option from the drop-down list, boxes appear in place of the picture. Enter the horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes. AutoCrop Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you put a photo in the middle of the glass, the scanner will automatically determine the size of the photo. When AutoCrop is selected, the scanner makes two passes the first pass senses the item s size, and the second pass scans the image. This option overrides the Page Size menu selection. DeScreen Select this option when scanning a picture from a newspaper or magazine article, or other item that contains images with patterns or dots. Scans of patterns or dots sometimes have a distorted or wavy appearance. The scanner scans the item to compensate for the patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image. The scanning may slow down a bit when this option is selected. You don t need to select this option when scanning photographs. The DeScreen setting does not apply to the Black/White mode. Gamma Drag the slider to improve how the colors in a scanned image look on your monitor. Gamma correction allows you to achieve precise color matching. Because the computer cannot always transmit the exact color information to the hardware, you may have to make some color adjustments using the Gamma feature. The default Gamma setting works fine in most cases and normally does not need to be adjusted. 6. Click OK. The Configuration dialog box reappears. Make sure the configuration you just defined is selected. 7. Click OK on the Configuration dialog box. The new configuration and its adjusted settings now apply to the button whose tab is selected at the top of the Configuration dialog box.

ADJUSTING SCANNER SETTINGS 32 Color Grayscale B&W Selecting the proper scanner setting before scanning produces the best results for a scanned item. The scanner setting determines the resolution of the item and the number of possible shades of gray or color. The symbols next to the setting names indicate the scan mode color, grayscale, or black and white. The scanner settings affect the speed of the scan and the file size. The Scan Manager shows the approximate file size of a scanned item to help you decide whether to use a particular scanner setting. Note: Your scanner is initially set to scan with the setting Color Document Faster. To scan at a higher resolution, select Color Document Better Quality. Note, however, that scanning at a higher resolution creates a larger file size, takes longer to scan, and may not print any better. To minimize the file size and the time required to get a better quality scan, select just the area of the item that you want to scan. For more information about selecting the area of an item, see Selecting the Area of the Item You Want to Scan on page 35. SELECTING SCAN CONFIGURATION OPTIONS The scan configuration options provide you with additional settings when scanning an image.
